I agree it's overpriced for what you get.  Thank goodness nobody forces us to buy it!

More than anything, most of these posts don't criticize QVC at all --they are not so suble putdowns of the thousands of women who like Ripka's products. 

 

How pretentious can you get!

I have to admit that I laughed out loud at "Judith Ripoff". Couldn't help myself!

I guess I have no sense of humor.  I'm not particularly a fan of JR jewelry, just not my style.  But titling a post as this one was is rude, IMHO, especially since it's a day that JR is featured.  Just my opinion.

No @Krimpette you do have a sense of humor and a good one! I have always enjoyed your posts. Something just hit me funny about the play on words. I actually like and own some of her jewelry. I didn't even know she was featured today. Really I meant no offence to you. Sorry.

I am just sick of seeing Judith Ripka on QVC.  They seem to be shoving her down our throats.  Her jewelry is very expensive and all the pieces that I have ordered were returned due to the lack of quality.  Please bring some new designers, show us more of the Q's jewelry brands anything but boring Judith Ripka.

@Krimpette  Especially since the name is old and hardly original.  It's been battered about for years.

When the QVC Ripka cz line of jewelry came to Canada 2 years ago it was way overpriced and that was when the CDN dollar was closer to the U.S. dollar. They couldn't call the cz stones "Diamonique" either so they called them a diamond simulant. I guess that sounds better than cubic zirconia, doesn't it?

 

Anyway the line didn't last long in Canada, they were gone after about a year and a half or so. I do have one of the nice silicone strap watches that I bought from TSC before the line went bye-bye. It's nice but I would never have paid full price for it.

 

I frankly don't see why Xcel brands bought the Ripka line, they should stick to clothes, bags, and shoes!

I own many Ripka pieces that I have purchased over 20 years.  I love all of them.  Some of her pieces are works of art.  When I need a new piece of jewelry I look at Ripka first. Yesterday she offered natural gemstone cuffs that were all gemstones that were beautiful.  I did not buy any of them as I do not need them at this moment.  I appreciate her artistry.  Clearly she sells a lot of jewelry at QVC.  Do I think it is more expensive than it used to be - absolutely.  So is everything else.  Do I like the high prices?  Of course not.  Everything at QVC is a lot more expensive than it used to be.
